G’Day, Janey...((HUGS))...about 9 more getups?

Someone will have to send you some.

I’m not sure if she’s happy or dismayed.

[left that other site]

Yep...the boot fits, so I’m gonna wear it.

My friend that died in the helicopter a year ago had stated that she wanted her ashes interred in the coral reef at Key largo. There is a big Jesus Statue like the one in Rio on the reef, and a lot of people have been interred there.

I’ll rent the snorkel when I get there.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance or body and soul.

Is the Florida mixer out the door?

[SandRat]

Happy Thursday

[SkyDancer]

Yeah, getting closer and closer and ....

[Kathy in Alaska]

Disconcerted...me too. The betrayal of Israel really bothers me. But the muslim brotherhood occupies most of the white house...I’m not surprised.

God Bless and watch over our troops.

What a beautiful resting place. Thank you for doing that for her.

You drive/ride carefully. Watch out for the crazies.

Get a picture or two.

Lynn-Dah going to doggie camp?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...finally, Thursday is just about here.

I got all my corrections made just at the final wire. Checks got printed.

My Pastor needs to go to the keys on an errand of mercy. We will ride down together, then i will go to my destination and he will go to his.

Someone is bringing a guitar, so guess who will be doing the service.

And, of course, Lynn-dah’s reservations at camp are in order! :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

This is the place in which we now find ourselves. May Almighty God grant us the strength and Grace to carry on to fulfill His Will!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Ma, I was remembering all the wonderful places we visited when I came to visit you and family.
The best memory I have is walking on the glacier. WOW that was fab!
Then we went to Potters Marsh, you drove us to the end of your main highway where we saw the damage from the tidal waves. We walked on the boardwalk over the marsh and watched the huge Alaskan Salmon swimming around. We took a trip to the Zoo to see Millie the elephant she was wonderful.
Remember the huge animal with the head full of horns, cannot remember the name of that guy. We also saw the great moose at the zoo and the Polar Bear, saw a Moose in front of your house, too.

So glad we had that visit. You made scrambled eggs for breakfast.

[luvie]

Howdy, ML! ((((hugs))))

Hope your mid-week went smoothly! I was off, so that is a plus! :)

I am riding the bike to key largo for a memorial service, some snorkeling, and the Bike Ride Itself!

Thanks for the 2nd place token. HUGS
